The Greek mama in me is still hoping my kids live The Greek mama in me is still hoping my kids live with me until they’re 30 though 😭😭😭 Wow, parents of older kids who’ve seen the movie Jay Kelly, tell me you didn’t feel moved by the line, ‘Hey, tragedy of parenting. We are only successful once we’ve made ourselves irrelevant’. With a mature, 6 ft 2 eldest child starting Sixth Form next year, it resonated with me😭🫶❤️ #mature #jaykelly #georgeclooney #parentingadvice #motherhood #parenting #momofthree #teens #wisdom #tragedy
Goodness, what a magical day it was at the huge, c Goodness, what a magical day it was at the huge, comprehensive and utterly beautiful @thegrovebookshop (which feels like a movie-worthy bookshop) in the picturesque, achingly beautiful, teeny town of Ilkley, I grew up in! To return always feels special but to visit the bookshop I frequented as a child (it opened in 77) as an author and then to be surprised by two of my former teachers (fittingly History and IT) was simply the cherry on top. Huge thank you to all who came, supported and bought my book (and several copies at a time 🤩), it really does make a super Christmas present for 8-12s and even for adults with a penchant for the classics! Days like these remind me of what truly lights me up: writing, and sharing my work. Now I need to crack on with book number 3. #books #bookstagram #school #author #yotkshire #ilkley #writers #writersofinstagram
A new analysis of ONS data, collated by Fertility A new analysis of ONS data, collated by Fertility Family, has revealed a shift in the age at which women in England are having children, the 30–34 age group now accounts for 35% of all births, making it the ‘peak age range’ for having a baby in England. Meanwhile, over 1 in 4 (26.7%) of all births in England are now to mothers aged 35 and over, marking one of the highest proportions on record. #research #stats #facts #over35 #factsonfacts #pregnancy #fertility #mothers #england #mom #babies #newborns

Wow, did you know that children of older fathers t Wow, did you know that children of older fathers tend to have longer telomeres, which are protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age meaning these children can age more slowly and live longer? This is because sperm telomeres lengthen as men age, and these longer telomeres are passed on to their children 🙌❤️🎉 #science #dad #older #over40 #fatherhood #fyp #factsonfacts #science
A study from Boston University discovered women wh A study from Boston University discovered women who got pregnant naturally with their last child after 33 were twice as likely to live to 95 as those who’d had their last child before hitting 29. An earlier study from the New England Centenarian Study found women who had children after 40 were 4 x more likely to live to 100 than those who had their last child at a younger age. I had a baby at just 28, 31 and 5 days before my 41st birthday 🙌.
